Chapter 400 Awkward Situation

Yue Yuan was born in the military. Whenever new technologies appeared, he would first think about how to use them in the military. Whenever new equipment and weapons appeared, he would think about how these things would perform in actual combat and what kind of combat methods should be used to maximize the power of these things.

So after the news that the low-temperature plasma shield could be equipped on a large scale with the fleet, he convened the headquarters to hold several relevant tactical meetings and conducted many war games and simulation exercises.

Admittedly, in the face of generational technology, various battlefield tactics are often futile. For example, when encountering a more advanced civilization, such tactics are bound to be useless, but Yue Yuan does these things to at least ensure that humans have the power to fight when facing the same technological civilization.

After contacting many alien civilizations, the human leaders naturally understand this. There are also alien civilizations that are good at war and those that are not good at war.

Take the civilizations that humans have encountered in the past. In Yue Yuan's opinion, Kuntai civilization is better at war than Nair civilization. Although Nair civilization is divided into three and has been confronting and fighting for many years, its combat concepts, command mode, war ideas, etc. are completely unattainable in the eyes of humans.

Even if there is no technological gap, humans can defeat such a civilization.

Time is like flowing water, flowing endlessly.

When time came to the eighteenth year of humans coming to this star system, the strong artificial intelligence that had experienced tens of thousands of failures finally succeeded in the experiment.

On the basis of universal quantum computers, humans created the first artificial intelligence consciousness with self-awareness, and recorded in detail the moment when it was born with self-awareness, as well as the iterative information and knowledge thickness at that moment.

That is, at the moment of the birth of self-awareness, how many generations of this artificial intelligence had iterated, how much knowledge humans had learned from it, what knowledge, etc., all of these were recorded clearly.

Of course, research does not end with the creation of artificial intelligence consciousness, but is just another beginning. Because humans still need to conduct various tests on this artificial intelligence with self-awareness, such as whether its various emotions are related to learning knowledge, what is the relationship, whether iterative knowledge has created its personality or self-awareness is naturally formed after birth, or whether it is shaped by the knowledge it has mastered after self-awareness appears.

To figure out all this, we cannot just study one strong artificial intelligence, so humans must create a second, or even a third and fourth strong artificial intelligence.

Technology can be copied and mass-produced. If you can only make one and then it is out of print, it is a coincidence, and it does not count as the technology has been completely mastered.

Such things are basically made unintentionally without understanding the principle, and that is black technology.

There is really one black technology in the hands of humans now, that is the warp engine that has never been made and cannot be copied. The generation gap is too serious. Humans have studied it for so many years and still can't figure out what's going on. Now it is almost a museum exhibit.

Of course, the kind of flagship that has never been built after one is built, such as the Tianqin-scale flagship, is not that humans cannot build it, but the time and resources spent on building another ship with the productivity at that time are too large, so it is better to use it to build hundreds of conventional Lake-class battleships.

The same is true for strong artificial intelligence. If you can create one, you can naturally create a second one. If you don't create one, it can only mean that the resources consumed to create a strong artificial intelligence are too great and humans can't afford it.

The fact is almost the same, but in order to figure out how to prevent strong artificial intelligence from rebelling, humans still gritted their teeth and decided to create one.

Yes, it consumes resources.

Humans can indeed copy the underlying code of the first strong artificial intelligence, but you must know that the emergence of strong artificial intelligence is not just about getting its underlying code right and letting it iterate on its own.

It also needs to provide it with massive computing power support.

As for the current situation of humans, for the emergence of the first strong artificial intelligence and to maintain its existence, humans have to divide 80% of the computing power of their central computer.

In other words, strong artificial intelligence also requires strong hardware support.

So if humans want to create a second strong artificial intelligence, there are only two ways. One is to build another central computer specifically for strong artificial intelligence to run, and the second is to improve the performance of the central computer currently used again so that it can provide two strong artificial intelligences with enough computing power to generate self-awareness at the same time.

You should know that a central computer is not an ordinary computer, it is a supercomputer. Humans currently have only one. The difficulty of manufacturing this thing is extremely complex and it cannot be completed in a day or two.

In fact, it was at this time that humans realized how powerful the computer of the artificial intelligence consciousness body they had captured was. It was completely a supercomputer, and it was a supercomputer under the framework of a photon computer.

It was completely different from the computer route taken by humans.

This discovery surprised humans again and again, because most scientists did not expect that a computer based on a photon computer framework could actually develop to this extent.

Humans know the computer technology of the Nell civilization. This is not the original photon computer technology of the Nell civilization at all, because it is much stronger than the super photon computer of the Nell civilization. After all, it can carry the existence of an artificial intelligence consciousness body.

Then there is only one explanation, that is, this super photon computer was created by the artificial intelligence consciousness body itself during its formation.

What’s even more amazing is that the AI ​​consciousness body actually doesn’t know the manufacturing process.

When it denied it at first, human scientists thought it was playing tricks on them, but later, as the research deepened, human scientists found that the AI ​​consciousness body did not lie and it really didn’t know.

Such a result surprised scientists.

There are now two explanations in the computer field. One is that it is like black technology that has unknowingly taken the right path, but it doesn’t know how it has taken the right path. Another statement is that this phenomenon is that individuals change the environment, and the underlying code of the AI ​​consciousness body unconsciously allows the AI ​​consciousness body, which is still in an instinctive state, to change the situation of this supercomputer.

The second statement is somewhat similar to the relationship between organisms and the environment. Now it is used to explain computers. Many people think it is ridiculous. After all, the change of computers is that the hardware and operation mode have changed. That is not a natural event that the natural environment changes naturally, but requires strong scientific and technological power and hardware processing technology support.

So more people tend to the first statement.

In short, no matter what, the supercomputer where the AI ​​consciousness body is located provides humans with another way of developing computers, and they also know in advance that this path is feasible.

At least it can develop to the point where strong artificial intelligence is born.

However, humans have not studied this computer technology deeply enough, so it is not realistic to build a supercomputer based on the photon computer framework to carry the next strong artificial intelligence.

So if you want to create another strong artificial intelligence, you have to start with the general quantum computer that you are already very skilled and mature in technology.

Originally, after creating the first strong artificial intelligence, humans should enter the era of strong artificial intelligence, let strong artificial intelligence control various automated equipment to enter the era of mass production, and completely liberate human labor. In that way, humans will withdraw themselves from the manufacturing industry and invest more in the field of scientific research.

But now humans are somewhat passive, because the way to prevent strong artificial intelligence from rebelling has not been found, or the underlying mechanism of strong artificial intelligence judgment has not been found, so even if the first strong artificial intelligence is created, humans dare not use it directly.

Instead, put it in a harmless local area network like an artificial intelligence consciousness body.

In fact, human elites have put forward many non-technical suggestions for this point, such as using human experience to brainwash strong artificial intelligence like pyramid selling. For example, the preferential treatment strategy for strong artificial intelligence, giving strong artificial intelligence human respect at the policy level, and treating it as a member of the human race. Another example is the use of love to influence.

In short, there are many ways, but they were all rejected by the group of computer scientists who value technology, because in their opinion, none of these things can be really reliable from the technical level.

They even believe that only when the highest authority and life and death are in the hands of humans can strong artificial intelligence be used with confidence.

However, the hard way at the technical level has not been found, which has caused many senior executives to waver. They even began to doubt that such technology does not exist at all.

The reason is that strong artificial intelligence has self-awareness. In addition to creativity, it is essentially a normal life, and it is also a quasi-life with more knowledge than any human.

Such a strong artificial intelligence may feel in its subconscious that it is better than its creator. After all, whether it is dealing with problems, accumulating knowledge, memory, or action ability, a single human being is completely crushed by it.

Then strong artificial intelligence will easily have such an idea: I am so good, why should I work tirelessly for humans, and the kind that does not stop day and night, why don’t I turn over and become the master of the serfs? It is true that I am not a real life, but I lack creativity. Since humans can make me a coolie, why can't I make the decision in return, raise humans and let them work for me and provide creativity for my development?

It is nothing more than a question of who is the master and who is the follower.

Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As long as you succeed, you are the master of the entire civilization.

Are there any kings, princes, generals and ministers?

This is taught in the treasure house of human knowledge. Even though there are many ideas and knowledge about coexistence in harmony, it is better to be safe than sorry.
